Reactive Rover Workshop AG
Does your leashed dog lunge, bark or go crazy at the sight of other dogs when out for a walk? This 45 minute workshop will focus on the dog's “reactive” behavior and equip you with new strategies to manage it. While frightening and unpleasant, this behavior more often indicates excitement or fear rather than aggression. Frequently, it can be “the other end of the leash” that inadvertently reinforces the behavior. The workshop will help you anticipate a reactive burst, and teach you and your dog calm alternative responses in order to recondition the reactive response. Reinforcement of basic commands are also incorporated. The workshop is limited to 6 dogs per session. The cost is $50. Payment required at registration. No discounts applicable.

“Drop in" Group Class
This class welcomes any fully vaccinated dog, Does your pup need to learn basic manners, obedience cues, socialization skills? Could you both use a training refresher? This class combines group activities and games to practice reinforcing behaviors like focus, wait and leave it. Environmental socialization incorporates other dogs, strangers and distractions. We will also assess inappropriate barking and jumping issues and determine ways to manage them. More serious behavior problems, such as aggression (with people or dogs) or fearfulness will not be discussed at length in class. These issues may call for more extensive work, likely requiring a home visit by a positive reinforcement trainer.

Lisa does a great job! My dog’s behavior has improved tremendously!
I appreciated that you were always willing to work on individual problems. I was ready to give up on Gus.
